San Cipriano - Patron Saint of Magicians

This statue was made for me by an artist in southern Mexico, and I have an exclusive on these. It is made of solid acrylic resin mixed with ground bone, and it is very study, and solid, and hand painted.

We make these nichos - the framed box - which is like a small shrine to house the saint, out of recycled wood, which is then hand painted with acrylic paint.

San Cipriano is known for three things. One is that he is the patron saint of magicians. Another is his alleged authorship of the most famous "grimoire" (the Franch corruption of the Spanish word "grimorio"), or book of magic (NOT "magick"), of all time, the "Libro de San Cipriano", or "ciprianillo" as it is often known is Spain. The third is his fame as being able to provide "amparo" to magicians - protection against powerful demons and spells, and malevalent spirits, especially when they are engaged in curing people of sicknesses caused by spells.

San Cipriano was originally a powerful magician, and he later became a Christian bishop and gave up the craft, and he supposedly burned his books of magic, some of which he had penned himself, having compiled spells and esoteric knowledge from diverse sources and having written it down in Greek so that others might also learn these things. Supposedly, a German monk named Jonas Sulferino was taught the contents of the books during a nocturnal visit by an infernal being in the year 1000, although it is more likely that the Latin Version of the texts which are attributed to his hand were translated from Arabic into either Latin or Spanish about that time, and smuggled out of Spain into Christian Europe.

ORACIÓN A SAN CIPRIANO

San Cipriano, suplico que aquellos que estén ligados con hechizos, embrujos, y poseidos del maligno, les desateis, les desembrujeis, para que el lobo rabioso no tenga dominio sobre __________ (nombre).
San Cipriano, ruego preservarme de todos los maleficios, arterías, perfidias de Lucifer; cuidad la vista y el pensamiento mio; sean llenos de confunsión los que atentan contra mi vida, que mis enemigos sean confundidos y alejados, mantenedme triunfante sobre ellos eternamente.
Así Sea.

PRAYER TO SAN CIPRIANO

San Cipriano, I beseech you that those who are bound by hexes, bewitchings, and possessed of evil, that you unbind them, that you unbewitch them, so that the rabid wolf not have dominion over ___________ (name).
San Cipriano, I pray preserve me from all evil intents, arts, and perfidies of Lucifer; guard my vision and my thoughts; may they be full of confusion those who attempt against my life, may my enemies be confused and driven away, keep me triumphant of them eterally.
Thus may it be.
